Pharaoh as a Crocodile Hauled From the Nile

Prompt

Ezekiel 29: Pharaoh, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, is drawn out of the Nile with hooks in his jaws and the fish sticking to his scales. A colossal Nile crocodile, large and central, is hauled up out of the river onto the sunlit bank by great bronze hooks fastened in its gaping jaws, its armoured scales glistening with water and silver fish clinging to them; it is cast onto the open sand of the wilderness where vultures circle above. Tall papyrus, palm trees and a distant Egyptian temple pylon along the bright river. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
